Kevin Spacey Tearfully Claims Poverty Due to Sex Abuse Lawsuits, Denies Connections to Epstein
Actor Kevin Spacey, during an emotional interview with British TV host Piers Morgan, revealed that he is financially broke and struggling with immense legal debts amounting to millions of dollars. Spacey disclosed that his involvement in various sexual assault lawsuits over the past few years has drained his finances, although he has won some of these cases. The interview with Morgan, described as his first comprehensive one since the legal challenges began, allowed Spacey to address his actions and take accountability for past misbehavior, which he characterized as being overly forward and invasive without recognizing the discomfort of others at the time.
Spacey expressed a profound personal crisis, noting that his house in Baltimore is being foreclosed and sold at auction to cover his legal expenses. He broke down when discussing the loss of his home and the potential of filing for bankruptcy, though he has so far managed to avoid it. Despite these challenges, Spacey voiced uncertainty about his future living arrangements and reflected on his previous reluctance to discuss his personal life and sexuality in public. Throughout the interview, he aimed to share his side of the story and the financial and personal toll the legal battles have taken on him.
Actor Kevin Spacey became emotional during an interview with British TV personality Piers Morgan, saying he was broke and owed millions in legal fees.
The 64-year-old “House of Cards” star has been involved in a number of sexual assault lawsuits over the past few years. Even though Spacey won some, he said they left him with no money. His conversation with Morgan was the first long interview he’s given since charges were filed, per The Independent.
“It’s been a very interesting and, I think, an important couple of weeks where I’ve had an opportunity to start to be able to talk about things that, well, for me, in some cases I’ve never talked about before, and to take accountability for those places where I have behaved badly, and to hopefully put some facts out there that maybe a great majority of the public don’t know about,” he told Morgan on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
Morgan asked what the actor meant by “behaved badly.” Spacey replied, “Pushing the boundaries. Being too handsy. Touching someone sexually in a way that I didn’t know at the time they didn’t want.”
Spacey broke down in tears when Morgan asked where he was living. He mentioned that his house in Baltimore was being foreclosed on and sold at auction due to his legal debts.

When Morgan asked if he was facing bankruptcy, Spacey said, “There’s been a couple of times when I thought I was going to file, but we’ve managed to sort of dodge it, at least as of today.”
When asked how much money he had, the actor said “none” and then clarified, “I still owe a lot of legal bills” to the tune of “many millions.”
“I’m not quite sure where I’m going to live now,” Spacey said. “I’ve spent so many years not wanting to talk about myself and avoiding questions about my personal life and my sexuality,” the actor, who is gay, added.
“I’ve come out of all this not bitter, not angry, not resentful,” the actor told Morgan.
When the interviewer asked him about flaws, Spacey responded, “There were bouts with arrogance. There were bouts with ego…My goal is now to prove that I am a man of good character.”

Spacey also discussed his connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which he claims has been overblown. He tried to justify a photograph of him sitting with Epstein’s confidante Ghislaine Maxwell on the thrones at Buckingham Palace in 2002.
He said President Bill Clinton had invited him on a humanitarian aid trip to South Africa.
“I didn’t want to be around [Epstein] because I felt he put the president at risk on that trip to South Africa, because there were these young girls,” Spacey told Morgan. “We were like, ‘Who is this guy?’”
“So, we flew then to London, and the president said to me, ‘Before we leave tomorrow, do you want to come? I am going to go to Buckingham Palace tomorrow to see Prince Andrew, do you want to come?’” he continued. “I said, ‘Sure.’”
He said that’s when the photo was taken. “This Maxwell woman, she was one of many people to sit down next to me in that throne room,” Spacey continued. “I have no relationship with her. I had no relationship with [Epstein]. I mean he’s not my friend. I am not a confidant. I’ve never spent time with him.”
